Cape Coast, Oct. 24, GNA \u2013 The Central Regional Command of the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS), has given a strong assurance of their readiness to ensure a fire-free, peaceful and safe election and Christmas this year and beyond.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In collaboration with other security services, the Command has assured that it was up to the task to further deepen Ghana\u2019s democratic processes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Assistant Chief Fire Officer II (ACFOII), Merinda Mary Attigah-Mensah, the new Central Regional Fire Commander, said ensuring an incident-free election and Christmas were a collective responsibility.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She, therefore, cautioned social commentators against spreading false information or inciting public unrest, saying, \u201cThe law will come after you and take its course.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
ACFOII Attigah-Mensah was addressing her maiden meeting with Metropolitan, Municipal and District Fire Officers from across the region to strategise ahead of the two mega-events.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The new Regional Commander who took over from ACFO 1 John Amarlai Amartey had been transferred to Accra.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Touching on fire-related issues, ACFOII Attigah-Mensah said though fire outbreaks tend to increase particularly during festive seasons, the Service remained equal to task.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u201cAs we approach the elections and the Christmas festivities, we must be vigilant and proactive in our approach to fire safety.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u201cOur goal is to ensure the safety of all citizens and to minimise the risk of fire-related incidents,\u201d she added.\u00a0<\/p>\n
ACFOII Attigah-Mensah mentioned measures to intensify community engagement and education as key to reducing fire outbreaks.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe need to empower our communities with knowledge on how to prevent fires, especially during the holiday season when cooking and decorations can pose significant risks,\u201d she added.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In addition, the Service would also conduct drills and simulations to ensure that fire officers were well-prepared to respond to emergencies.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
In collaboration with local authorities, GNFS will inspect high-risk areas, including markets and crowded public venues, to identify potential fire hazards.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe urge all citizens to exercise caution and adhere to safety guidelines when using fire,\u201d Attigah-Mensah stated.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOur officers will be on high alert to respond to any incidents that may arise,\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
